prayer这个单词指的是祈祷，那have a prayer什么意思：

have a prayer这个表达通常来说会和否定词not连用，
not…have a prayer
没有做成某件事情的机会/可能性；
If you say that someone hasn't got a prayer, you mean that it is impossible for them to succeed in what they are trying to do.
或者简单一些：
not have a chance or possibility of success:

eg: You think you can beat me? Ha! You don't have a prayer.
你觉得你能打败我？哈，你根本没机会的。

eg: With that giant supermarket opening up across the street, our little grocery store won't have a prayer of staying open.
随着街对面那家大超市的开业，我们的小小的杂货铺要想继续营业下去，基本不太可能了。

其实后半句话你也可以说
…our little grocery store won’t stand a chance…
或者
…our little grocery store won’t have a chance…
再或者：
…there's no way our little grocery store can survive


eg: They didn’t have a prayer without a backer for the new company.
要是没有人支持那家新公司的话，他们根本没希望的。

eg: She'd been caught from behind and hadn't got a prayer of freeing herself.
她被别人从后面抓住，根本没有脱身的可能。
